From that footage Ted, it looks as if Kyle has some quick feet. it doesn't look as if he is 177lbs. there does he? . Wait untill he gets into a real weight lifting facility , and has a big line in front of him . He looks as if he has some promise. It is going to be nice to follow some of the new guys along their senoir season. starting this week! thanks Ted

Pretty good debut for the two future Cats. Three TD's between the two of them it what appears to be limited action.

I'm ticked Glenville/Iggy aren't playing Week 1 anymore... I never need an excuse to watch all that talent on one field, and the fact that we are going after Cardale is more then enough of an excuse if I even needed one!

Solon 31, Mentor 21.

Cards miscues lead to Comets victory.

Picture from the plain dealer:

Solon's Kyle Hammond drags a load of Mentor tacklers toward the end zone, but a penalty brought the ball back in the second quarter Friday at Mentor. - (Thomas Ondrey / PD)

As mentioned in the STO thread, Hammonds was banged up in the 2nd quarter. One article mentions a head injury, another a rib. Kyle did come back in the second half however from whatever was ailing him.

Solon 38, Parma 13.

Great to see this line from Kyle. Looks like he is back and healthy. 13 carries, for 220 yards, including a 4 yard touchdown run. I'm not sure of his other runs, but obivously that means he had 12 carries for 216 yards, or 18 yards a carry.
